Acute monoarthritis in young children: comparing the characteristics of patients with juvenile idiopathic arthritis versus septic and undifferentiated arthritis

Abstract Acute arthritis is a common cause of consultation in pediatric emergency wards. Arthritis can be caused by juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA), septic (SA) or remain undetermined (UA). In young children, SA is mainly caused by Kingella kingae (KK), a hard to grow bacteria leading generally...

Arthritis can be caused by juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA), septic (SA) or remain undetermined (UA).

An early accurate diagnosis between KK-SA and early-onset JIA is essential to provide appropriate treatment and follow-up. The aim of this work was to compare clinical and biological characteristics, length of hospital stays, duration of intravenous (IV) antibiotics exposure and use of invasive surgical management of patients under 6 years of age hospitalized for acute monoarthritis with a final diagnosis of JIA, SA or UA. We retrospectively analyzed data from < 6-year-old children, hospitalized at a French tertiary center for acute mono-arthritis, who underwent a joint aspiration. Non-parametric tests were performed to compare children with JIA, SA or UA. Bonferroni correction for multiple comparisons was applied with threshold for significance at 0.025. Among the 196 included patients, 110 (56.1%) had SA, 20 (10.2%) had JIA and 66 (33.7%) had UA. Patients with JIA were older when compared to SA (2.7 years [1.8–3.6] versus 1.4 [1.1–2.1], p < 0.001). Presence of fever was not different between JIA and SA or UA. White blood cells in serum were lower in JIA (11.2 × 109/L [10–13.6]) when compared to SA (13.2 × 109/L [11–16.6]), p = 0.01. In synovial fluid leucocytes were higher in SA 105.5 × 103 cells/mm3 [46–211] compared to JIA and UA (42 × 103 cells/mm3 [6.4–59.2] and 7.29 × 103 cells/mm3 [2.1–72] respectively), p < 0.001. Intravenous antibiotics were administered to 95% of children with JIA, 100% of patients with SA, and 95.4% of UA.
